MaxiEcu Interfaces and Licenses 4 GEN or Expert interface? Where can I buy the license extension with new brands? OBD2 diagnostics – part I (history) MaxiEcu 3 – Connection configuration MaxiEcu 3 – Errors registration – Operation LOG MaxiEcu 2 – Beta version Interface serial number OBD II diagnostics – part II (codes)

In MaxiEcu interfaces you can choose the connection version via Bluetooth or Wifi (in the Expert model interface – an additional option is a USB connection). The connection configuration process is a one-time process, i.e. if you change the connection from Bluetooth to Wifi or vice versa – you should go through the appropriate connection procedure. In most new systems, the procedure is automatic and does not differ from the process of establishing a connection with other wireless devices. Below we present the next steps of the process. However, if there are any doubts / questions – we encourage you to contact us via the forms in the User account

Configuring the Bluetooth connection

  1. Connect the interface to the OBDII socket in the vehicle – the interface diode should light up green.
  2. Enter the Bluetooth module in Windows: on the Windows toolbar (next to the date and clock) click the “Bluetooth” icon or use the “WIN + i” keyboard shortcut, and then select: -> “Devices” -> “Bluetooth and other devices”.
  3. If the Bluetooth module is not active – turn on the Bluetooth module.

Additional recommendation: To eliminate connection difficulties and shorten the waiting time for a response – we recommend removing all previously paired devices from the Bluetooth connection list.

4. Click “Add Bluetooth or other device” -> “Bluetooth” and wait until the system detects the interface.

  1. From the list of detected devices, select the interface (the name will include the serial number of your interface), and then click the “Connect” button.
  2. Start the MaxiEcu program 3. Go to “Settings” (gear icon) -> in the “Connection Method” section, the “BT” option must be active (the option button will be marked with a red frame). The software will automatically pair with the interface (the serial number of your interface will appear in the Interface ID bar).
  3. Go to vehicle diagnostics. The software will automatically establish a connection with the interface

IMPORTANT (applies to the Android version) – it is necessary to express consent:
to find devices nearby – this will allow for automatic connection

to access to location – this will allow for connection and is necessary for the application to work properly

Configuring the Wifi connection

1. Connect the interface to the OBDII socket in the vehicle – the interface diode light should be green.
2. Enter the Wifi module in Windows – on the Windows toolbar (next to the date and clock), click the “Wifi” icon.
3. From the list of available Wi-Fi networks, select the network that contains the serial number of your interface in its name.
Check the “Connect Automatically” checkbox, and then click “Connect”.
4. Launch the MaxiEcu software. Go to “Settings” (gear icon), then to “Connection Settings” (two arrows icon).
5. Select the connection option “Local network”.
6. Confirm with the “OK” button. After that – you can start the vehicle diagnosis.
